Chris Thompson (broken leg) said he will be ready for training camp.

Thompson had surgery to repair a broken right fibula in early December. He was given a four-to-six month timetable after the procedure, which makes him questionable for the offseason program but a near lock to be ready for training camp. Washington has questions on early downs, but Thompson is locked in as the passing-down back. Jan 2 - 12:27 PM

Redskins RB Chris Thompson has been diagnosed with a broken right fibula and requires season-ending surgery.

Brutal, though it was the expected outcome after Thompson got rolled up in ugly fashion at the Superdome on Sunday. It ends a breakout campaign for a player who entered Week 11 leading the Redskins in both rushing and receiving. Thompson had been Kirk Cousins' most trusted target. Now the Redskins are left with Samaje Perine and Byron Marshall at running back. Perine will bang between the tackles while Marshall will try to catch some passes. Sun, Nov 19, 2017 04:44:00 PM

Chris Thompson was carted off the field with a right leg injury in the Redskins' Week 11 game against the Saints and will not return.

Devastating. Thompson's right leg got rolled up from behind by Sheldon Rankins. Thompson made it immediately clear he was dealing with a serious injury, and was quickly fitted for an air cast before being carted to the locker room. It had the looks of a season-ending injury. It's a devastating one for the Redskins, as Thompson is both their No. 1 running back and most productive (by yardage) receiver. Byron Marshall should take over as the Redskins' passing-down back behind Samaje Perine. Sun, Nov 19, 2017 03:11:00 PM

Chris Thompson caught 3-of-7 targets for 41 yards while rushing nine times for 26 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Vikings.

Thompson had a 27-yard reception on a 4th down conversion that would've been a touchdown on a better throw, but that was an example of touchdown variance working against Thompson for once. He has now had just seven receptions over the past two weeks, but is the most trustworthy source of fantasy production out of the Washington backfield. Thompson will be a RB2/flex option versus the Saints in Week 11 regardless of format. Sun, Nov 12, 2017 05:45:00 PM

Coach Jay Gruden doesn't expect Williams to be ready until late July. Williams played through knee issues for most of 2017 before getting surgery in December. The Redskins don’t have any concerns over his Week 1 status.
